GZ Legends 21: Cyclone's Rage

Sandstorm

“We have to
get to Florida now, I’m sorry, but I’m out of here,” Sandstorm looked to
Electrode, “Meet me on the beach in Palm Bay.” Sandstorm dissipated into air and
went out the window. Before anyone could say anything, Electrode was also gone.

“You better
get there too,” Nightfall said to Anubis, who nodded and ran from the room.

“I’m not
sure where Palm Bay is,” Anubis said to himself, “but if I fly south and head
for the ruckus I oughta find it!”

“Oh this is
just great!” Larratus shouted.

“Actually,”
Blacktide said, “Nyhtwulf says this is part of his mission here. That hurricane
was created by a being called Cyclone who’s under some kind of spell.”

“And the
mission is to stop this Cyclone guy huh,” Larratus grumbled, “Fine, how do we
get the rest of you down there?”

“He says he
can teleport a few of us but it will strain him,” Blacktide said and Nyhtwulf
nodded.

“Alright,
hurry up and deal with this so we can get back to Professor Zombie!” Larratus
ordered.

Atomizer
took off his hat and put it on a table, “Don’t want to lose it in a hurricane.”

Atomizer,
Blacktide, and Redeagle all put a hand into their midst like a team about to do
a rallying cheer and Nyhtwulf grasped them all from above and below with both
clawed hands. The group of them flickered and vanished from sight.

“Just
great,” muttered Larratus.

The group
appeared on a beach currently torn by wind and water. All of them fell to the
ground under the force of the gale. They could see Sandstorm and Electrode
standing against the wind, looking up at the raging storm. For all of them to
see, a face formed in the side wall of the hurricane and howled at them all in
carnal fury and strobes of lightning.

“You must go and help them, I will join you
soon but I am taxed from carrying the three of you,” Nyhtwulf said into
Blacktide’s mind.

“Was that
Cyclone?” Redeagle shouted over the wind.

“No, just
the monster he created!” Blacktide shouted back.

“Well, I
can’t punch that! What do we do now?”

“We get
over to Sandstorm and Electrode!”

The raging and living hurricane

The three
men struggled against the wind to reach their friends. Sandstorm had no problem
keeping his footing against the high winds and Electrode uses his speed powers
to maintain his position. The rest had to stumble and hold on to each other to
reach them.

“You may as
well stay back and find something to hold onto!” Sandstorm said when he saw
them.

“What are
you going to do?” Atomizer asked.

“I’m going
to merge with the storm to try and push it away from the beach. I’ll try to
stop it,” Sandstorm explained.

“What about
this Cyclone guy?” Redeagle asked.

“If he
shows up, pound him!” And Sandstorm vanished.

“Great
advice,” Redeagle commented as he looked around at the bending trees, blowing
water, and distant buildings about to be blown away if they failed.

Anubis
landed a few feet away.

“Welcome to
the party!” Atomizer said.

“Hey, how’d
you guys get her so fast?” Anubis asked.

Sandstorm
could feel the mind of a sentient being as soon as he entered the swirling
forces of the hurricane. He could feel that it didn’t want him there. Sandstorm
couldn’t help but be carried in the high winds’ circulation as he tried to make
his way toward the eye. The eye felt like the epicenter of the hurricanes life
force. He hoped if he could reach that, he could take over and dissipate the
storm before it destroyed not only Palm Bay, but all of Florida. The storm
resisted him, but Sandstorm pressed on. Suddenly, something ran into him and
carried him right out of the sidewall of the hurricane. Sandstorm was shocked
that anything or anyone could grab him from air form, but this person did. They
crashed into the beach and sprayed sand into the wind. Sandstorm struggled to
raise himself from the ground as he looked up into the angry glowing eyes of
Cyclone himself.

Electrode
struck Cyclone with a barrage of lightning bolts. Cyclone waved him off with
one hand and a wave of force threw Electrode to the sand. Sandstorm vanished
into the sand as Atomizer threw a rock and detonated it a few feet away from
Cyclone. The blast staggered Cyclone off balance and Redeagle delivered a
spectacular kick to the head followed by a series of punches. Cyclone growled
as he caught Redeagle by the arm with unexpected reflex and flung him at
Atomizer, knocking them both unconscious.

Blacktide
raised a hand to fire a disintegration blast but was interrupted in his mind by
Nyhtwulf, “We mustn’t kill him. He is
under a spell.” Nyhtwulf still struggled to regain his strength from
teleporting three people into the stormy area.

“Well what
do we do?” Blacktide asked and then turned to the fight still in progress.

Anubis
charged in with his lance on an impaling strike, but Cyclone caught it and
tossed both it and Anubis aside. Electrode was back up and using his speed to
appear in different places to hit Cyclone, but the lightning had no effect on
the cosmic elemental. Anubis landed near Blacktide.

“Nyhtwulf
says we can’t kill him,” Blacktide said.

“That’s
nice to know,” Anubis jammed his lance into the sand and charged his fists with
energy. “Well, let’s get him!”

Anubis flew
back at Cyclone, but Blacktide didn’t dare move. He couldn’t see Sandstorm or
Electrode and one thing his powers did very well, was kill. He feared even
getting too close for sake of hurting a teammate. Blacktide had no idea what to
do. He even feared trying to drag Redeagle and Atomizer away for sake of
hurting them with his disintegration aura.

Anubis
started landing punches as fast has he could. He staggered the muscular being
backwards and knocked Cyclone’s face left and right.

Cyclone

“Man can
you take punishment!” Anubis shouted as he kept on with his attack, “Why don’t you
just fall down and take a nap!”

Suddenly
Cyclone started blocking those punches and reacting. Anubis found himself
slowly being forced back with a series of parrying attacks that he found
himself having to block. Then Cyclone landed a punch to Anubis’s midsection
that actually made him wince. Then a blast of cosmic force threw Anubis across
the beach, past Blacktide and Nyhtwulf.
